NAME

6       xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
10       xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
11       lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
12       lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
13

DESCRIPTION

15       xzcmp  and  xzdiff  invoke  cmp(1)  or diff(1) on files compressed with
16       xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).  All options specified are passed
17       directly to cmp or diff.  If only one file is specified, then the files
18       compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported compression
19       format)  and  file1  from  which the compression format suffix has been
20       stripped.  If two files are specified, then they  are  uncompressed  if
21       necessary  and  fed  to cmp(1) or diff(1).  The exit status from cmp or
22       diff is preserved.
23
24       The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with
25       LZMA Utils.

BUGS

31       Messages  from  the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary file‐
32       names instead of those specified.
